Chapter 1284: I’m Willing!
“Yes, chief.” The two of them immediately stood up to accept their mission.
“Don’t be so uptight. Sit down and hear me out more.” Ling Xiao waved his hand to gesture to them to sit down and listen to him speak about the details.
Ling Xiao quickly told them the details of the mission. As he continued revealing more and more details about the mission, Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran’s expression gradually got more excited. They were looking at Ling Xiao with looks that were basically screaming the fact that they were looking forward to the mission and wishing for it to begin as soon as possible.
“This is something that only the two of you can know. Once you walk out of that door, I will not acknowledge that I have given you this mission. Whether you die or live during this mission will have nothing to do with the Flying Dragon Special Forces. You think it over and see whether you want to take up this mission.” Ling Xiao’s eyes were sharp as he shot a chilling glare towards them. The chill in his eyes showed them the inferior position they were in and his attitude towards them.
“Chief, we are willing to accept the mission,” said Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran simultaneously as they stood up.
“Very good. General Ling Xiao’s death involves too many factions. Your trip will definitely be fraught with danger. Once you find Lieutenant General Ling Lan, protect him until I contact you. Don’t let him return to the Federation. Lieutenant General Ling Lan is General Ling Xiao’s only remaining bloodline. It may be a difficult mission, but I still have to say that even if the two of you were to die, you must not let him die. Otherwise, don’t come back,” said Ling Xiao coldly.
“Yes, chief,” said Mu Chaoran and Tang Ningyu without hesitation. Even if it wasn’t for General Ling Xiao, they still wouldn’t let Ling Lan die because of their complicated feelings towards him.
“If you understand, then sign this document and set off at once.” Ling Xiao couldn’t wait any longer. His daughter was still in a state of crisis. In order to take over the 23rd Division he had left, along with the Lingtian Independent Army that Ling Lan had established, those greedy people wouldn’t allow Ling Lan to live.
When he told Ling Lan to leave the Federation, he was afraid that without his protection, Ling Lan wouldn’t be able to avoid all of the layers of plots and traps. He would rather have Ling Lan reach a level of strength where she won’t be able to plot against before returning to the Federation to deal with those people.
After saying all that, Ling Xiao took out the two vacation applications he had previously prepared and handed them to Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran.
The two of them saw the space where they should sign on the application. In order to separate their mission from the Flying Dragon Special Forces, they must sign the vacation application themselves. That way, if they were to be discovered, their actions wouldn’t be traced back to the Flying Dragon Special Forces. It would be considered their own personal act.
The two of them knew that if they were to sign it, they would become abandoned once they were caught.
Tang Ningyu looked towards Mu Chaoran. Mu Chaoran reached out his hand and took the application. He resolutely signed his name on the application.
He was already considered half abandoned in the Flying Dragon Special Forces. If he was about to be given up on, then he would rather use all of his efforts on protecting that person. Even if he died, it would be worth it.
However, it burdened Tang Ningyu… Mu Chaoran looked at Tang Ningyu apologetically. Tang Ningyu originally had a prosperous future ahead of him. However, because of him, he was also dragged into this mess. Despite Mu Chaoran feeling sorry, he still… gestured for Tang Ningyu to sign it.
Mu Chaoran’s desperate plea towards Tang Ningyu was clear as day. Tang Ningyu instantly woke up from his daze and immediately took the application and signed his name on it.
That’s right. When their chief divulged the details of the mission to them, they already had no chance to refuse, right? Once they refused, they would be surreptitiously cleaned out in the next second. Their chief was definitely not going to allow anyone who didn’t participate in this mission to know about it. Tang Ningyu was daydreaming too much if he thought he had an option to refuse.
Mu Chaoran saw Tang Ningyu sign his name, so he breathed a sigh of relief and asked, “Chief, where could Lieutenant General Ling go?”
Just then, he was really scared for Tang Ningyu if he couldn’t get his head around it and hesitated to sign. Their chief had asked them to think about it, but in reality, if they were to actually refuse… what awaited them was definitely not something good. But, everything was alright now since Tang Ningyu realized it.
“No matter if it’s allied nations or enemy nations, he wouldn’t be there. Thus, he can only go to a neutral nation. Just follow this clue and go search,” said Ling Xiao.
No matter if it was allied or enemy nations, no matter if it was with good or bad intentions, they would search for her everywhere. After finding her whereabouts, they would definitely quickly react to it. Only the neutral nation wouldn’t give out Ling Lan’s whereabouts because they wouldn’t want to involve their own nation’s interests or try to benefit themselves even if they knew Ling Lan’s whereabouts. As long as Ling Lan was given enough time, a neutral nation wouldn’t be able to take advantage of Ling Lan that easily. After taking everything into account, the level of danger of being in a neutral nation was definitely lower than being in an allied or enemy nation.
Thus, as long as Ling Lan didn’t go dumb, she could only go to a neutral nation.
In reality, this guess, whether it was the Federation or Caesar, or the other nations involved, could be easily deduced by them. Thus, those people who wanted to take out Ling Lan would definitely send people to ambush her. They wished to kill Ling Lan before she could grow into someone they couldn’t control. The reason Ling Xiao sent Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran was because he was afraid that Ling Lan didn’t have enough manpower to win the battle of attrition.
It should be known that after entering a planet, unless the planet was on martial law, mechas were prohibited from being used on the planet surface. A mecha appearing would definitely alarm the citizens of the nation. On planets, war was fought through physical skills. As domain realm masters, Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran were definitely good helpers in that aspect.
It was just as Ling Xiao had predicted. Countless factions had deduced the path Ling Lan escaped towards, to a neutral nation. They all sent people towards them. Some went with the intention to ambush and kill, while some went to aid and rescue.
At that moment, the Destruction Devil had already arrived at a space station constructed in the public planetary sector of a neutral nation.
Under the command of the space station, the Destruction Devil slowly docked on the spaceport.
They had to really thank Little Seven for reducing the unneeded weight off the Destruction Devil to increase the speed. He shedded off the outer shell of the Destruction Devil, turning it into a naked starship, just one accurate hit from a beam would instantly blow it up. It was considered the most battered spaceship in the entire space station. Despite it being large and still somewhat magnificent looking, the staff members of the space station just turned a blind eye towards it. They were only surprised by its size. What they didn’t know was that that battered up starship was actually the Federation’s newest starship model, the Destruction Devil.
In reality, they really weren’t surprised at the staff members on the space station for ignoring them. It should be known that as a neutral nation, they wouldn’t refuse any ships from entering their spaceport which included intergalactic space pirates and intergalactic mercenaries. These spaceships that explore, fight and plunder in intergalactic space would usually have starships battered up like this. Even the strongest intergalactic space pirates or mercenaries would still have such battered starships. Repairing such starships was how their space station made their money.
The space station was actually a large intergalactic spaceship repair factory. It was just that calling it a space station sounded better.
“How do we fix this?” The most skilled technician of the space station, the station commander, arrived at the spaceport. He raised his head and asked himself the major question.
